NEW - 5/5/13 - Yanagisawa B901 (Vito V.S.P.) Baritone Saxophone - SALE PENDING - $3,899

This is a "stencil" horn made by Yanagisawa for the Leblanc / Vito company.  While engraved as a Vito V.S.P., unlike most stencil instruments this one actually has the Yanagisawa logo stamped on the back of the instrument, on the neck brace and has "Yanagisawa" engraved in the clothes guard.  It even has the Yanagisawa model number - B901 - stamped next to the serial number!  This is a true Yanagisawa and is a very, very fine instrument in excellent condition.  There are a few areas of worn lacquer in the expected spots and was well cared for by its previous owner.  If you are unfamiliar with Yanagisawa instruments they are one of the world's premier manufacturers of saxophones (that's all they do!) and each instrument is handmade in their facility in Japan.  Since Yanagisawa doesn't make any "student" / entry level instruments, they are completely focused on making the finest instruments available.  The build quality is superb and parts are easy to get as Yanagisawa is owned by Conn-Selmer.



Vintage 1973 Buffet R13 Clarinet - $3,199

Another amazing vintage professional instrument is available through North Georgia Band!  This "Golden Era" 1973 Buffet R-13 has been overhauled in our shop.  It has nickel-silver keys that have retained 100% of their finish and a fixed thumb rest.  We installed cork pads in the entire upper joint and premium Kraus/Pisoni bladder pads in the lower joint.  Key and tenon corks were replaced with premium natural cork.  There are absolutely no chips, cracks or any other issues with this instrument.  The keys were not buffed so all angles and touchpieces are in original condition and are fit exceptionally tight.  We can replace the fixed thumb rest with a Buffet adjustable thumb rest if you prefer as well as take care of any other modifications you would like.  It has been play-tested by two extraordinary local clarinetists and has received rave reviews!  Includes a newer-style black leather-wrapped Buffet case.  

Vintage 1978 Bach Stradivarius Trumpet - Silver with 37 Bell - $1,999

This fine trumpet is in SUPERB condition!  I have never seen a Stradivarius from this era in the condition that this one is in!  No dents, dings, or issues whatsoever.  The valves are in like-new condition and the silver Instrument has been chemically cleaned and polished.  This even includes the original leather-wrapped case in EXCELLENT condition with no tears, stains or cracks!  This is a great opportunity to own a piece of trumpet history!


Noblet 45 Grenadilla Wood Clarinet - $799
This Noblet 45 is approximately 6-8 years old and has been completely overhauled in our shop with natural key corks and premium bladder pads.  There are absolutely no chips, cracks or flaws in the wood and there are no issues with the instrument whatsoever.  The model 45 Noblet is at the top of Leblanc's intermediate line of clarinets and would make a great upgrade for a student looking to move beyond their plastic instrument!

Ridenour Lyrique RCP-578BC Professional Bb Clarinet - $699
This is the first Ridenour instrument that we have had for sale and we are very impressed with it.  When researching this instrument online we were astounded by the amount of high praise placed on this clarinet.  Tom Ridenour has some fascinating philosophies about acoustics and clarinet construction (be sure to read his article entitled "The Grenadilla Myth").  This is a hard rubber instrument (NOT plastic, ABS or Bakelite as found in most student clarinets) and compares nicely to a grenadilla instrument (keep in mind that most pro-level clarinet mouthpieces are made of hard rubber).  While this instrument was manufactured abroad all Ridenour clarinets are hand-assembled and finished by Tom Ridenour himself in the U.S.  The instrument is in superb refurbished condition, the upper joint is padded with cork pads and the price will allow you to own a professional level instrument at the cost of a used Buffet E-11 or similar intermediate clarinet.  It includes a Ridenour hand-crafted mouthpiece and Rovner 1R ligature.  Take a moment to visit the manufacturer's website: www.ridenourclarinetproducts.com

Yamaha YFL-481 Flute - $849
Solid silver body and head, silver plated keys, inline G, low B, gizmo, French-style case and case cover.  The headjoint has been expertly cut and modified by Keren Barr to allow for maximum response.  This one does have some slight flaws in the plating on a couple of the keys but it is purely cosmetic.  Otherwise the flute is in superb mechanical condition and someone is going to get a GREAT deal on a GREAT flute!

Yamaha YFL-581 Flute WITH Straubinger Conversion - $2,499
Solid silver body and head, silver plated keys with French-style pointed arms, inline G, low B, gizmo, full Straubinger Conversion and custom headjoint cut performed by Keren Barr.  This flute is in FANTASTIC condition and will be a perfect instrument for a college student / aspriing professional.  Don't confuse this instrument with the current 500 series Yamahas that do not have a solid silver body - these flutes are identical to the current-day Yamaha 684 flute.

M. Masson Thibouville Clarinet - $699
In the early and middle 1900's there were literally hundreds of small clarinet manufacturers that were trying to get a piece of Buffet's corner on the market.  While today we consider many of them to be "one-offs" or "no-names", they were all trying hard to come up with something better than the classic Buffet R-13.  While many of these companies didn't survive their legacies and innovation lives on through clarinets like this one.  It has been completely overhauled and is a classic French clarinet without the name-brand markup of a Buffet!  Give it a try - we think you'll be impressed!

Getzen Capri Trumpet - $729
This Capri is one of the very, very few instruments that I would classify as "like new".  It has absolutely no issues and is a great step-up horn for the budding trumpet student or hobbyist adult.  It's silver plating is flawless and the valve action feels more like a pro horn!

Bach 1530 Trumpet - $319
This Bach 1530 has been completely restored and is a perfect student/beginner horn.  Skip the high cost of a rental or a new horn and purchase this one instead!
